⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Soledar - Situation on the Morning of 4 Jan 2023; pub. 11:21 by YURI⚡️

🔹After a short pause our troops resumed their attacks in the #Soledar direction.

🔹As a result of the attacks we forced the enemy to retreat to the main contour of the town's defence in its western part, supported by high-rise buildings and salt mines.

🔹At the same time, to avoid taking it head-on, attacks continue to encircle the city from the north and from the south (here, this is also part of the attack on #Artyomovsk/#Bakhmut). The movement is proceeding quite dynamically.

🔹Moreover, Zelensky spoke about the difficult situation there in his speech yesterday (and not coincidentally).

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Artyomovsk Direction - Situation in the Morning of 22. Jan 2023; by YURI⚡️

♦️ Here, as yesterday, our pressure to the south of the city in the direction of #Krasnoye continues to intensify.

🔹 Yesterday the Wagner PMCs occupied several more enemy strongholds in the direction of this settlement, and apparently today this movement will continue. All the more so, the consequences from #Zaporozhye direction are already playing into our hands, where the enemy has already been forced to transfer reserves even from the north #Donbass front.

🔹 North of the city, stubborn fighting for control of #Paraskovievka (the most important road junction) continues.

🔹 Also, headquarters and all sorts of "logistics" are gradually being withdrawn from the town, which suggests that the AFU command is preparing for further territorial losses and is not particularly optimistic about retaining the town.

📌 For now it can only try to hold back our offensive in the hope that the crisis in the south will not be large-scale and this will generally allow it to retreat in an orderly manner to new lines east of #Slavyansk and #Kramatorsk and to hold Chasov Yar.
